Sorry, I didn't understand that... you think it was hotter for your second dyno? By how many degrees (guesstimate)?

Thanks,
Doug



I didn't write it down but I was thinking around 83F for Friday.

When I did mine I think it was 5-10 degrees warmer... I could be talking out of my @$$ here I'm not sure but I remember playing a tennis match a few days before where it was 94F (much hotter on court).

The other thing was that my car got up to 128F inside (according to thermometer) that week as opposed to 116F on dyno day.

I still managed 222.4hp and 222.6lb-ft

I'm going to try a dyno run tomorrow too (hello pulleys!) I'll post info on how that comes out.
